Does Zane ride a foam core Absolute? Or is it a Platinum with Foam graphics? I would love that, the foamy graphics look sick with the Deuce, not that I'm vane or anything... If you know, please share, lucky bastard.

Zane rides foam core, not Plat. When I asked him why, he told me that he likes the flex of the foam better. Which makes sense, at his skill level, IMO, he has no problem getting up there and the flex on the landing makes it a little softer. Me, on the other hand, I need all the pop I can get, so I ride a Plat. BTW, I also think the foam graphics look a lot better than the Plat...

Stephan, the last time I posted pics riding with Zane, I think you asked about the new 07' Zeus boots and I never got back to you. The last time I rode his board, he had been using the 07 prototypes with the new lace system, and although the boots were well broken in, the cinch system was working perfectly. If you ever get to central FL, let me know and we'll go riding....

It used to be a junkyard and after the hurricanes it all flooded. The County filtered out all the toxins in the water and dead rats and oil drums its now a great place to park. Actually matt Cypress Gardens put those out years ago to act as a breakwater to keep the Show Circle calm. It also acts as a great place to park and watch the ski show, swim etc.

Byrd - is "Zane" Zane Schwenk (sp?)? if so, i think he's one of the boarders that dave briscoe and i phoned up after some post-lesson partying this summer! bet he loved it, cuz it had to be like 1 or 2 a.m. florida time. we phoned someone back east too; i don't remember who it was though.

Kylie, yes they are one in the same. I have been riding with Dave this winter as well. He has really helped my riding out a lot!! Dont worry about Zane, he and I have returned that favor to Briscoe a few times as well....

That is awesome! Thanks! I have to show my wife that, she will get a kick out of it. My son and I are always goofing around and I think she feels I am ruining a good young mind...I am trying to convince her that I am broadening his perspectives. No one likes a boring person. Great picture and thanks again.
